Free Online Event | Watch every session on demand NOW | May 26 - 27

Don't miss your chance to boost knowledge, solve safety and security challenges, and make connections with fellow professionals developing the next generation of self-driving technology

Autonomous Vehicles Online identifies and highlights the future trends that will shape the self-driving car industry.

On Day One, our expert speakers will establish the current state of the industry, giving an overview of autonomy as it stands. Our specially invited sponsors will delve into key issues in the field of sensors and software, and we’ll also look at trends in automated delivery vehicles.

Day Two changes tack, looking into some of the rules and regulations that govern the industry as a whole. We’ll get an update on SOTIF, take a look at data protection, legal issues, then finish on how the commercial industry is adapting to the challenge of autonomy.

LISTEN TO EVERY SESSION ON DEMAND NOW!

Key Topics

Giving an overview of the state of the autonomous car industry, highlighting the progress made up to now

Identifying and offering solutions for some of the main challenges that are likely to be prominent in 2020

Establishing the geography of autonomy, giving a broad overview of where the leading companies are working, before focusing onareas for growth

Highlighting significant issues being faced right now, related to security, safety and legislation

Autonomous cars have received a reality check. Timescales for delivering a full, Level 5 vehicle have now been reconsidered and made more realistic, with delivery being split in two – ADAS can be expected soon, full autonomy less so. With this in mind, what’s the outlook for 2020? Is the focus just improving ADAS, or is full autonomy still progressing at speed? And where will self-driving vehicles make their impact first?

Learn the value proposition of LiDAR as a key component in auto and mobility ADAS and AV applications. Obtain a glimpse into the anticipated roadmap and obstacles for the automotive industry, the Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, and system integrators for level 3-5 development. You will also become aware of the benefits that a LiDAR platform solution can provide.

This session includes:

A breakdown of the necessity of LiDAR in Level 2+ to Level 5 autonomy

Details of the industry roadmap of ADAS and AV development

All the benefits of LiDAR platform solutions for Tier 1 and 2 suppliers

With no need to control a car with a steering wheel, pedals, or gearshifter, the way a user interacts with a vehicle can change to suit. But this shift is already taking place, not just with Bluetooth door locks and keyless go, but increasingly via smartphone – particularly when it comes to ordering transportation on demand.

How do you design user experience and user interaction for autonomy?

What is the role that artificial intelligence will play?

Voice, touch, heart beat and more – new ways that the car and human can be as one

Driving automation software for autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems of Level 2 or higher is now routinely validated by simulations. These simulations are part of a continuous process that makes it possible to progress smoothly from virtual simulation (MIL/SIL) toward hardware in the loop (HIL) validation.

In this session you will learn:

How advanced simulation really is the key to unlocking the potential of self-driving vehicles in the safest possible environment

As autonomous vehicle development continues under the new world conditions of COVID-19, developers have one eye firmly focused on getting the first true self-driving vehicles on the roads. The other eye is looking further ahead to the ultimate prize of mass deployment of autonomy. This session will explore the technology journey that needs to be taken to arrive at autonomous vehicles at scale.

In this session, we will discuss:

How to understand the challenges that need to be overcome to deploy autonomous vehicles at scale

What are the requirements involved, including high performance computing, safety, sensor processing and software to deliver this aim

Without safety there can be no autonomy. The challenge for all those involved in self-driving vehicles is ensuring that all aspects are safe, from concept development to design, V&V, and introduction on public roads. There have already been setbacks, so it’s important to understand the latest in standards that keep the industry on track.

What is the current status of ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) in their implementation?

What are the biggest challenges from a safety point of view to ensure smooth adoption of autonomous technology for consumers?

Rami Debouk, Staff Researcher, General Motors Research and Development

Autonomous cars have the potential to dramatically improve road safety. However, perfecting the technology comes with risks – as exemplified by high-profile accidents involving advanced driving systems. So how do legislators and regulators balance the need to support technology that could save lives in the long term, without compromising short-term public safety? In this session, we will answer:

With which laws and regulations do companies building autonomous vehicle technology need to be familiar?

How are government agencies trying to ensure that testing takes place safely?

What are the present privacy and cybersecurity requirements?

With such nascent technology, how do governments ensure that regulations keep pace with development?

Developing self-driving vehicles isn’t easy, but routes that are repeatable and repetitive allow for the set of unknown hazardous situations to be minimized. Likewise, some of the most tedious jobs for human drivers are those repetitive highway routes. Is it here that autonomy has its best chance of success in the shortest possible timeframe?

How commercial vehicles are well suited to autonomy

Delivering efficiency and self-driving vehicles cutting times from order to arrival

Case study of how autonomous technology is being applied to commercial routes
